The hope that I hold,
The believe that I keep,
The thoughts that are bold,
The feelings that are deep.

And if you can see my burning char,
you will know how pure my thoughts are,
how even your faintest of the gleam,
make my imagination spread like a beam.

If you will know,
what the scant of your appearance means to me,
you might still chose not to stay,
but you may leave behind
a smiling heart for me to treasure for a lifetime
